The Sun Sets

I've been toying with this image off and on for several months now. There were some things I wanted to modify, but I was unable to do it in a way that I liked. I think I finally solved that problem, but I am not so sure I'm finished working on this yet. Anyway, gonna throw it out there into the world for people to see just like this because I really like this one. I actually shot it in Seal Beach 24 DEC last year. And I fell on my butt while climbing down off these rocks.

Blue Golden Hour

Obviously, it's still the "golden hour" even though it certainly has a gloomy, blue caste. And I didn't manipulate the colors to make it so. It was a pretty dingy looking night anyway. I found this trail on the north side of Signal Hill Park. I didn't even know this spot was there. I was simply doing a little scouting/exploration, chasing the sunset due to the funky clouds--a seeming rarity this time of year here in SoCal. The clouds kinda congealed, but that small break at the horizon allowed me to get a somewhat interesting sunset out of this. The sky never lit up after this, so I packed up my gear and went home. I will have to try this place again, though.
